So everything would have to massively to change for us to be top 3 this season. Possible, but not probable.

My prediction is that we will finish just outside the play-offs this season. However, we could with the right support, and lessons learned, gain promotion next season.

This is the voice of reason. As I have said for a while now ...... we need to be patient. Much more patient.

Problem is JR spent the cash and got Evans in for instant success. Not a project. We need results now.

But t'will be the same again. New players and then of course they'll need 5 months to 'gel'.

All your figures assume the teams above us fall away Kirkby. Top 2 averaging 2 points per game and Accy 1.95. At the end of the day we need to get more points than 21 other teams to be in top 3 whatever that total may be. It's like the mythical 50 points to stay up, it could be more or less. Lies, damned lies and statistics.All we can do is keep winning. The rest is out of our hands.

Stick with original post, too far behind I think and although we are becoming better the second half Sat shows that there is still a lot of work to do to keep the momentum going but play offs should be possible and are the best bet for us.

The last thing we need is a plumb third round draw to take our eyes off the ball.

With a bit of shrewd investment into the goal scoring area and we'll do it. For me, only Luton seem as good as up. I think county will slide away as will accy due to squad depth. Exeter already seem like they are falling away.

Is it possible?Yes of course it is till it's mathematically gone...Is it likely ?I'd say playoffs are a better bet...I don't see looting or clownty slipping up , that leaves one spot and I don't see enough consistency in our play to say we could get there.Happy if I'm proved wrong tho

Disappointing is being kind Kirkby, love your stats gives a good idea where we are at. Said before we can't raise our game for the poorer teams in this league. Your stat one win in 5 against bottom 6. Simply not good enough, dress it up all you want, their manager said we were unlucky etc. We need to improve sharpish it's now or never this season or it's gone and the only hope is the playoff lottery. Which to be honest I would take hands down right now

19 points from 16 games = 1.1875 ppg

Transpired over a 46 game season = 54 or 55 points. With that sort of total we'd have been making squeaky farty noises from our bumholes all season till we'd have gotten over the 50 point mark and virtual safety.
